Your paintings are gorgeous, and I especially like the contemplative sense in Obama's painting.

I am so proud of you and I am most happy for you!
Congratulations on the sale of the prints.

Just my thoughts…
I can’t help though but feel sorry that in this day and age people still see in B&W…

Obama is just a man…. a very beautiful man it seems… and it is a pity that he is viewed in terms of colour… it could have been an Asian who was elected President…were people going to call this person ‘yellow!’
Like I said…just my thoughts…

You are doing well and your portraits are just getting better and better…and I am proud to know you!

Love to you,
Patricia
